[QUOTE="B.LaCe, post: 15539302, member: 176802"] So I need to replace my supercharger (@30k miles). I'm guessing the bearings are going (sounds like rocks rolling around in a coffee can). I'll be the first to say: I'm no mechanic and I'm no weekend racer. I drive my car a couple days a week, about 5-6 months a year, depending on the weather here in Southwestern Pa. That being said, I'd like to add some more power by upgrading the sc instead of rebuilding. My current mods are: Kooks 1 7/8" long tube headers Kooks Off-road H pipe Ford racing Mufflers (previous owner had a Flowmaster catback) JLT "Big Air" plastic intake MGW Gen 2 Dynatech Aluminum driveshaft Ford Racing 3.73 gears (needed repair) NGK TR6 Spark Plugs Innovators West 15% Overdrive Harmonic balancer Thump Racing Tensioner The car made 537rwhp and now needs a new supercharger and I'll be doing the clutch and suspension this spring as well. My question is: Should I go w/ my gut and get the VMP Gen 2R 720 hp kit or listen to my mechanic and shell out for a KB 2.8? My goal is to build a RELIABLE car for cruising that's putting down at least 750RWHP (my best friend has a Hellcat, im tired of hearing that 707 number)... with the ability to grow later if so desired. I appreciate any help or insight. I know there have been countless "This VS.That" threads on here and I've learned a ton already... so thanks! [/QUOTE]
